fells and hides were charged, letters indented should be made between

that the customers should have the part sealed by the shipmasters
at the exchequer upon their account, and the shipmasters should
on coming to Flanders deliver the part with the king's seal to the
said governor at his search, and in case any such goods should be
found not cocketed nor customed they should be forfeited to the
king with the ships bringing them ; and the king has learned that
he and his lieges suffer daily loss, for that merchants of the realm cause
such goods to be cocketed under the names of foreign merchants,
and foreign merchants under the names of English merchants, and oft-
times English merchants cause them to be laded in one ship with those
of foreign merchants, and to be taken and unladed where they will,
wherefore they are out of the rule of the said governor, and for that
they are so carried to divers places and unladed elsewhere than in
the port of the Swyn in Flanders, in the absence of the searcher, they
are hidden and eloigned and the king's letters of cocket concealed,
so that the king loses his customs, subsidies and forfeitures, and the
merchants under the rule of the governor their profits ; and the king
by assent of his council made an order that all merchants and others
wishing to lade and take such goods out of the realm should make
oath before the collectors of customs in the port of lading to ac-
knowledge the owners' names, the parts whither they were to be
taken, and the places where they were to be unladed, and should

Stephen" lately held those lands, namely one messuage, one mill,

Avith the castle and lordship of Dynbegh by reason of the wardship of

but to deliver the same with the issues thereof to Edward prince of
Wales or to his attorney ; as lately by his charter the king gave
to Edward his eldest son, whom he created prince of Wales, the
principality of Wales to hold to him and his heirs kings of England
with all his castles, towns, lordships and lands of North Wales, West
Wales and South Wales, all fees, royalties and hberties thereto be-
longing as fully as tlie king held the same ; and now it is shewn
on belialf of the j)rince that, whereas the castle and lordship of
Dynbegh are and of old were member and parcel of the principality,
and William de Monte Acuto late earl of Salisbury (to whom the
king gave the same before the said creation, to hold to the earl and
the heirs of his body) did homage therefor as member and parcel of
the principality to the prince after his creation and so was thereof
seised at his death, after whose death the prince seized the same
into his hand by reason of the nonage of William his son and heir
now earl of Salisbury, and had the wardship thereof, and when the
said heir came of age took his homage and caused the same to be to
him delivered, and he so held the said castle and lordship until the
late earl of March by judgment of the king's court recovered the
same against the said earl of Sahsbury, by virtue of which recovery
the earl of March was thereof seised until his death, whereby they
descended to Edmund his son and heir being within age, and though

others (alleging that the said castle and lordship are the barony of
March, and as such are held of the king as of the crown of England
and not of the principaHty) have in the king's name entered and
occupy the same by reason of the nonage of Edmund, wherefore the
prince has prayed the king for remedy ; and because the king is
fully informed that, at the time when the principality came to the
hands of King Edward I by forfeiture of Lewelin then prince of
Wales, the cantreds of Roos and of Rowynok (wherein are the castle
and lordsliip of Dynbegh) were annexed to the principahty and seized
into that king's hands as a single lordship, and that king by his
charter gave those cantreds to Henry de Lacy tlien earl of Lincoln
and to liis heirs, who therein built a castle which he named the castle
of Dynbegh, and for them did homage and fealty at Odyam to King
Edward II (then prince of Wales) in the lifetime and by command
of King Edward I, and so died seised of the cantreds and castle afore-
said as parcel of the principality, whereby they descended hereditarily
to Alice daughter and heir of Henry, whom Thomas then earl of
Lancaster took to wife, and Thomas and Alesia held the castle and
cantreds until King Edward II (liaving the principality in his hand)
seized them into his hand by the forfeiture of Thomas, and gave them
(under the name of the castle and lordship of Dynbegh) to Hugh
le Despenser the son and to his heirs to hold of that king as of the
principahtj^ and the present king after, being seised of the prin-
cipality, caused that castle and lordship to be seized into his hand
b)^ the forfeiture of Hugh, and gave them to Roger de Mortuo Mari
then earl of March (grandfather of Roger afterwards earl who was his
heir) and to his heirs, and so Roger the grandfather held them until
they came to the king's hands by his forfeiture, and so being in his
hand the king gave them to William de Monte Acuto late earl of
Sahsbury the father, and as well that earl as the now earl of Salisbury
successively did homage to the prince for the same, whereby it appears
that the said cantreds, the castle of Dynbegh therein built and the
lordship of Dynbegh are and were of old time member and parcel of

burgages, houses and pieces of land after the last conquest of the town

his enemies while the king was without the realm, to resist their malice,
granted a fifteenth of the counties and a tenth of the cities and

esquires who crossed the seas in the king's company at his last passage
and were abiding in his army abroad) privileges, charters and liberties

grant of the former tentli and fifteenth was levied in the cities,
boroughs and towns of Essex, and after, on hearing reports that tlie
said enemies entering the realm burned the town of VVynclielse and
returned to sea for the collection of a greater fleet to commit therein
worse mischief, the king caused two fleets, of the west and
of the north, to be furnished with men at arms, armed men and
archers and sent to sea for defence of the realm to repulse those
enemies, and for that few men of the counties named came according
to notice to the places a})pointed to sail therein, and because for the
urgency of the need (whereon ])eril of the subversion or loss of the
whole realm seemed to turn) the king could not send again to distant
places to seek for men, he caused great number of such men to be
hired in neighbouring parts for furnishing the said ships, and their
wages to be paid of moneys chevised for that purpose, and when the
ships returned from that voyage, in order that the commons (to whom
the king is much indebted for their services in his absence and
their j)ains and expense) might know how the moneys arising from
the tenth and fifteentli were s})ent, so that if aught should remain
over it should be repaid to them according to the grant, he caused

other true man to be summoned to Westminster on the morrow of

by the death of John Chaumberleyn of Drax knight ; as the king
has learned by inquisition, taken by the escheator, that John
Chaumberleyn at his death held no lands in that county in his demesne
as of fee, but held the premises for life of the grant of Master Adam de
Ayremynne, late archdeacon of Norfolk, by fine levied in the king's
court by his licence, with remainder to John his son and Maud

the manor of Wykenby which is held of another than the king and
was likewise so taken, delivering up any issues taken of that manor ; as
although it was found by inquisition, taken by the escheator, that
John Chaumberleyn at his death held the manors of Merston and
Wykenby in his demesne as of fee, that the manor of Merston is held
in chief by knight service, and the manor of Wykenby of another than
the king, and that Henry Chaumberleyn, son of the said John, is
next heir, yet because Henry, appearing personally in chancery and
craving that those manors should be deUvered to him as son and heir
of John according to that inquisition, having heard a copy of a fine
levied in the king's court by his licence in the 6th year of the reign,
withdrew, and by inspection of that copy it is found that Master
Adam de Ayremynne, then archdeacon of Norfolk, thereby granted
and rendered to John Chaumberleyn the manor of Wykenby to hold
for Ufe, and further granted that the manor of Merston, which Roger
de Wolsthorp and Emma his wife then held for their Uves of the heritage
of Adam with reversion to him, should remain after their death to

him in chancery of the cause wherefore that manor was by him taken
into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that he so took it
for that it was found by inquisition, before him taken of his office,
that the abbot held the same immediately of the king by the service
of making suit at the king's court of the hundred of Kiftegate every
three weeks, and demised it without hcence to John Trillowe knight,

Oct. 16. To William de Otteford escheator in Huntingdonshire. Order to
Westminster, remove the king's hand from a messuage, 12 acres of land and 1 acre
of meadow of Margaret de Brynkton in Brynkton, and not to inter-
meddle further therewith, delivering up any issues thereof taken ;
as the king lately ordered the escheator to cei'tify in chancery the cause
wherefore the premises were by him taken into the king's hand, and he
certified that they were so taken for that it was found by inquisition,
before liim taken of his office, that the abbot of Rameseye long since
acquired the same to him and his house of John Bowyer without the
king's licence ; and after Margaret daughter of Philip de Bitherun
and Alice and Ellen her daughters informed the king that the pre-
mises were of them the said Margaret, Ahce and Ellen, as those which
they recovered by an assize of novel disseisin against the said abbot,
and not of the abbot, and that the abbot after the recovery aforesaid
never acquired the same, and petitioned that the king's hand might
be removed, wherefore the king ordered the escheator to make in-
quisition thereupon; and by an inquisition, by him so taken, it is
found that Hugh de Sulgrave abbot of Rameseye in the time of Henry
III, before the statute of mortmain, acquired the premises to him
and his house by a fine and a charter of Wilham de Walde knight,
and demised the same to chvers tenants of liis manor of Brynkton
to hold in bondage {bondagio), and afterwards Simon de Eye late
abbot took the same again to his own hands and demised them to John
le Bo\\"iere to hold in bondage to him and his issue (sequele), which
John surrendered them to abbot Robert de Nassington, that at another
time a jury presented that the surrender was an appropriation or
acquisition of the premises by that abbot without the king's licence,
by virtue whereof the premises were by the escheator seized into the
king's hand, and that Richard son of John le Bowiere, alleging himself
to be John's heir, after his father's death, in the time of Richard
de Shenyngton now abbot, entered and by charter conferred the pre-
mises upon the said Margaret, Alice and Ellen, and for that the abbot
did not suffer them to continue their unlawful seisin, they recovered
the premises against him and others as aforesaid.

the cause wherefore the said abbot's manor of Hundemanby was by
him taken, it was said, into the king's hand, and he returned that he
so took the same for that he found by inquisition, before him taken
of his office, that Roger late abbot of Bardeneye tenant in chief, it
is said, by his writing demised, for himself and his successors and the
convent of his said house, to John de Stokheth chaplain, late parson
of Hale, for his life a manor of Hundemanby, namely the parsonage and

of the parsonage and four bovates of land, w liich are of the spirituahties

that the whole manor consists of the manse of the rectory of tliat church,
to tliem appropriated of the gift of Walter, together with tlie four
bovates and the advowsons aforesaid, which arc of the endowment

favour lately granted to Walter by letters patent the wardship of all the
lands of Andrew, which came into his hand by Andrew's death and by
reason of the nonage of Thomas his son and heir, who died a minor
in the king's wardship, without rendering anything for the same ;

Oct. 6. To WilUam de Nessefeld escheator in Yorkshire. Order to remove
Westminster, the king's hand and not to intermeddle further with a messuage in
Gloverlane in York, delivering the issues to Roger de Overton chaplain
and John de Alkebarowe ; as the king lately ordered the escheator
to certify him in chancery of the cause vv'herefore the premises were
taken into his hand, and he certified, that he so took the same for
that he found by inquisition, before him taken of his ofiice, that Robert
del Chapele, who at his death held in his demesne as of fee a messuage
by the church of St. Sampson at the corner of Girdelerrawe in York,
held of the king for a burgage of the city of York and of the value of
• 205. a year, died intestate mthout an heir of his blood ; and after
Roger and John informed the king that Robert long before his death
by charter gave that messuage to Agnes his daughter, her heirs and
assigns, and they acquired the same in fee of William de Huntyngton
cousin and heir of Agnes, who entered the same after her death by
right of inheritance, pra5dng the king to cause his hand to be there-
from removed ; and the king thereupon ordered the escheator
to make inquisition, and by inquisition by him so taken it
is found that Robert, who held that messuage in his demesne
as of fee, a year and more before his death gave the same
by charter to Agnes as aforesaid, by virtue of which gift she
was thereof peaceably seised during her life, that after her death
Wilham de Huntyngton entered as her cousin and heir, being acknow-
ledged as heir, and peaceably held the premises seven years and more,
and that on St. Edmund's day in the 32nd year of the reign he gave it by

of the cause wherefore those lands were by him taken into the king's

inquisition, before him taken of his office, that Robert Reymes, tenant
in chief of a messuage and 120 acres of waste land in Cambowe as
parcel of his barony of Bolum, ahened the same in fee without the
king's licence, and that Robert de Fenwyk holds the same hkewise
without licence ; and after Robert informed the king that the
})remises are held of Hugh de Herle, who holds them further of Robert
Herle as of his barony of Bolbek, and were not held of the king nor of
his forefathers at any time, and petitioned the king to cause his
hand to be removed ; and the king ordered the escheator to
make inquisition thereon, by which inquisition, by him taken
accordingly, it is found that Walter de Cambowe and John
de Cambowe and their ancestors time out of mind held the
premises of Hugh de Reymes and his ancestors by fealty and the
service of 6s. 8c?. a year, that Hugh and his ancestors held the same
of Robert de Herle and his ancestors by the service aforesaid, and
they are now held by the same service of Robert de Herle and his
heirs, who holds them in service of the barony of Bolbek in chief, and
that Robert de Fenwyk holds them of the said Hugh and his heirs,

ordered the escheator to certify him in chancery of the cause wherefore
those lands were by him taken into the king's hand, and he certified
that he so took them for that he found by inquisition, before him
taken of his office, that Christiana who was wife of Michael le Taillour
tenant in chief, the king's widow, married Wilham without the king's
licence, and that William and Christiana hold in her dower
lands in Gamelesby and Ayketon which were of Michael, value in all
issues 26s. M. ; and after petition was made to the king on behalf
of Thomas de Alanby, who acquired those lands (as he says), that
he would order his hand to be removed, as the said lands descended to
Christiana by inheritance and not in name of dower or otherwise, so
that she might lawfully marry without requiring licence of the king,
wherefore he ordered the escheator to make inquisition ; by
which inquisition, by him taken accordingly, it is found that
the premises are not of the dower of Christiana but of her
heritage, which descended to her by the death of Christiana her
mother, daughter and heir of Robert de Castelkayrok tenant in chief,
and that Christiana wife of Wilham held no lands after the death of
Michael her husband whereby she ought to be the king's widow.

of tlie cause wherefore that manor was by him taken into the king's hand,
and he returned that he so took it for that he found by inquisition,
before him taken of his office, that King Henry III gave in fee to
the ancestor of the said Ralph three carucates of land in Bethum with
a fishery in the water of Kent there, called the manor of Bethum,
and that Ralph entered the same after the death of Thomas de
Bethum his father, without process of the king's court, and without
doing homage ; and after Ralph informed the king that King Henry
III did not at any time give that manor to any ancestor of his, and
that it was held time out of mind of Christiana de Gynes as of the
moiety of the manor of Kirkeby in Kendale, and of her ancestors
lords of that moiety, which after her death came to the king's hands,
and was by him given to William de Couucy, and after his death,
again coming to the king's hands as an escheat, to John de Coupland
and Joan his wife for their lives, together with the knight's fees to
the same moiety belonging, wherefore Ralph ought not to be troubled
by reason of his entry after the death of his father, who died in the
time of the said Christiana, and he petitioned that the king would
cause his hand to be removed ; and by another inquisition, taken by
the escheator by virtue of the king's command, it is found
that neither King Henry III nor any forefather of the king gave
the said manor to any ancestor of Ralph de Bethum nor to the said
Ralph at any time within the memory of man, but the same was held by
knight service of the said Christiana and of her ancestors and of
others the lords of the said moiety of the manor of Kirkeby in
Kendale time out of mind, and at the time of the death of Thomas, father
of Ralph, of the same Christiana (then living) and of her heirs, that Ralph
entered after the death of his father as his heir, and did homage and
other services thereof due to Christiana in her lifetime, and not after

that manor was taken into his hand, and he returned that he so took
as well the said manor, which was of John de Stirkeland and held by

that the rent is extii\guished, and the said messuage and land are held
of Tliomas de Tweng as of his manor of Stirkeland and not of the
king, and ]iraying that his hand might be removed, the king ordered
the escheator to make inquisition thereupon ; and by that in-
quisition it is found that Richard de Latoun was seised in
his demesne as of fee of a messuage, 60 acres of land and 6
acres of meadow in Stirkeland whereof the rent aforesaid
used to arise, and held the same of Thomas Lang of Stirke-
land as of the third part of the said manor by the service of

Stirkeland in fee, subject to the rent aforesaid to be paid to Richard,
his heirs and assigns, that Robert died thereof seised, after whose
death William de Stirkeland entered as son and heir of Robert, and
gave the premises to John de Stirkeland and the heirs of his body,
that Richard de Latoun, being seised of the rent aforesaid by reason
of the said reservation, granted that rent to Margaret de Roos and
her heirs, by virtue of which grant Margaret was thereof seised,
and granted the same in fee to Richard de Preston and Anabel his
wife, and Richard de Preston released it to John de Stirkeland who
was seised of the tenements whereof the rent used to arise, and
Anabel after her husband's death also released to John all her right
therein, whereby that rent was extinguished, and that neither
Margaret de Roos, John de Stirkeland nor any other ever held the
said rent in chief, nor are those tenements held in chief, nor were
they ever held but of Thomas de Tweng by the service aforesaid and
by homage ; and by another inquisition, likewise taken by the
escheator, it is found that John de Stirkeland at his death held no
lands, rents or service in chief in his demesne as of fee nor in service,
but died seised of the manor of Great Stirkeland and of no other
lands, rents or services, and that he held that manor of Thomas de

them to their own parts without let, provided that by colour thereof
no other such merchandise be placed or laded therein ; as it is shewn

chandise aforesaid at Lescluses in Flanders in two great ships of
Janua to take to their own parts, that those ships on their voyage
were driven by tempest upon the sands by the port of Romeneye

one party being a scholar, so that if any being lawfully cited before
him on such pleas shall neglect to come, the chancellor may banish
them from the university, and otherwise proceed against them by
ecclesiastical censures, as in such cases is accustomed ; and now
the king has learned that, though Master Nicholas de Aston, chan-
cellor of the said university, caused brother John de Norton, a friar
of that order, to be summoned before him to answer touching certain
trespasses therein committed against the king's peace, according to
the king's power to him assigned as aforesaid for keeping the peace
and for repose of the scholars studying therein, the said friar refused
so to come before him though lawfully warned, whereupon the
chancellor because of his open rebellion decreed that he should be
punished, but he and others of his order, scheming to hinder the
execution of that decree, and to impugn the liberties and privileges
aforesaid, have caused the chancellor for this his lawful action to
be summoned before the court of Christianity, within the kingdom
or without, in contempt of the king, to the injury of the laws and of
the crown, and to the manifest avoidance of the said liberties and
privileges, whereat the king is moved to anger : prohibition therefore
of any attempt against the said chancellor or otherwise to the
prejudice of the king or of the laws, which may impair the rights,
hberties and privileges above recited, and order to revoke any

last twelve lawful and true men of the county of affinity neither with
the prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England nor
with John de Grey of Rotherfeld, between whom is to be taken an
attaint or jury of 24 knights which the prior has arrained against
John before those justices concerning the manor of Shobyndon,
without that that Richard Gregory the younger his under sheriff
(reputed suspect therein) should meddle in the return, the said sheriff
made that return, and upon a fresh oath before the council said that he,
being himself (as he alleged) occupied about the king's business
elsewhere, delivered to the said under sheriff twelve good and true
men of the county specified in a schedule indented (whereof one part
remained with him, the other with the under sheriff) to be returned
before the justices, and produced the part remaining with him ; and
for that Robert de Thorp chief justice of the Bench a,nd Henry Grene
another justice (being there present) said that the names therein
specified were not returned before them, speech was had with the
said under sheriff (being also present) whether the sheriff delivered
them to him to be returned or no, who said upon oath and acknow-
ledged that the sheriff did so, and that he, having in his keeping the
seal of the sheriff's office, for that it seemed to him that the persons in
the indenture contained were insufficient in so great a business, for the
honour of his master and for no other cause by his own discretion returned
a panel of knights and others more sufficient. And because the
sheriff contrary to his oath delivered the panel for return to the
under sheriff, who for the cause aforesaid ought to have known nothing
thereof, he was committed to the Flete prison, there to abide until
the king should command his will of him, and thereupon dismissed
until the quinzaine of Michaelmas next by mainprise of William

deferred to proceed in those pleas, the king many times ordered them
by divers writs to proceed and do justice to the parties, or to show
cause to the contrary ; and the justices certified in chancery that the
said tenants had vouched the heir as aforesaid, and that they could
not proceed by virtue of those writs for that in them no mention is
made save that the body of the heir is in the king's wardship, nor are
they assured whether the said warranty is tried before the king, nor
whether the heir be bound to warrant or no ; and because upon
examination of the business it seems to the council that the heir is
bound to warrant the said Ralph, and for sure causes them moving
they are in doubt whether the licence produced concerning the said
lands, being held of the king, which the said Thomas and Katherine
acquired of the said earl, ought to be valid or no, and action of dower
against them ought not therefore to be delayed, but Phihppa ought
to recover and Thomas and Katherine sue thereupon before the king,
and Philippa confessed before the council that she would not at that
time sue against Roger de Mortuo Mari of Henton and Richard de
la Bere, saving her right when she would sue, and the king is assured
that as well the body of the heir as the lands of his heritage are in the
king's wardship : order to proceed in the pleas pending against the
said Ralph, Thomas and Katherine, their said certificate or the alle-
gations above recited notwithstanding.

of avoirdupois and other merchandise which could not easily be set
at a fixed custom 3d. of every pound silver of estimated value upon
entry, and likewise 3d. a pound upon export, over and above the ancient
customs theretofore given, and the said king granted that no demand,
prise, prest or charge should be laid upon the persons or goods of
those merchants contrary to the charter, and likewise made order
that they should not lose these Uberties or any of them for any liberty
whatsoever that he or his heirs should thereafter grant ; and whereas

commonly called the Guildhall of the Teutons, that they and their
successors should be maintained and preserved in all hberties and
free customs which they enjoyed in their own or their forefathers'

goods ; and whereas by complaint of the said merchants the king has
heard that the collectors, by virtue of an order newly made by the
king and council touching the levy of a new custom from aliens,

ing of the said merchants the new custom over and above the old
customs in the said charters expressed and by them heretofore used,

mand it is found that the said merchants, as well in the times of the
said kings as in his own, have paid and used to pay for cloths of

lands in the island, alleging that the same ought to belong to her
by reason of the manor so being in her hand, lias hindered the abbot
from having that pasture and making his profit thereof as he used afore-

is found that the said Robert gave the pasture of la Rigge, bounded
as aforesaid, to the said church to hold to the monks and their suc-

in Ireland, by colour of an inquisition taken of office, whereby he found
(it is said) that Henry Macmolys the king's Irishman sometime held
the said manor, seized the same into the king's hand, and that they
the said Thomas de Cusak and others were ousted therefrom without
an answer contrary to the statutes, and praying that the manor might
be restored to them, the king ordered the justiciary and chancellor,
if the said Thomas de Cusak and others should find security to answer
to the king for the true value thereof for the time they should hold
it in case it should be adjudged to the king, to commit the said manor
to them in his name to hold as aforesaid, any commission or demise
by the justiciary and chancellor or other minister of the king, or any
writ not to intermeddle with lands in the king's hand to them
addressed not\Wthstanding, commanding nevertheless those who
should be so commanded to notify Thomas de Cusak and the others
to be before the justiciary or in chancery at set days to show cause
wherefore the manor ought not to remain in the king's hand ; and after,
the said Thomas de Cusak and others being in possession thereof by
virtue of the said grant and demise, and the plea between the king
and them pending without debate, at the untrue suggestion of certain
who alleged that the said manor had not been demised to the said
Thomas de Cusak and others at its true value, the king ordered the
justiciary and chancellor and the treasurer and the barons of the
exchequer of Dublin, if James le Botiller earl of Ormond and WiUiam
Petit would render to the king the true value thereof in excess of the
farm which the said Thomas and others rendered, to cause the ward-
ship thereof to be delivered to the said earl and William Petit to
hold so long as it should remain in the king's hand rendering such
true value, any previous commission to Thomas de Cusak and the others
under the king's seal of Ireland and the king's command above mentioned
notwithstanding, by colour whereof the said Thomas and others were
without warning a second time ousted from that wardship, where-
upon by their petition before the king and council presented in par-
liament they have prayed for remedy : order to call the parties before
tliem, and the escheator and others who should be summoned, to
view and examine the king's commissions and commands and the
record and process of the said plea, and after hearing reasons on
either side to cause speedy justice to be done, any commands to the

before Simon Pakeman and Richard de Gaddesby and their fellows

Leycestersliire, to answer touching certain felonies whereof he was

March 4. To the justiciary and chancellor of Ireland. Whereas lately, learning
Westminster, by frequent information that damage has come to himself and his
lieges of Ireland since mere Irishmen, his enemies, as well clerks as
laymen, are appointed and promoted to be ministers and officers in
cities, boroughs, towns and castles in Ireland, and to canonries and
prebends in cathedral churches in the king's lordship and other
benefices among the English, the king commanded proclamation to
be made in cities, boroughs, market towns and other places that no
mere Irishman of the Irish nation be made mayor, bailiff, warder,
officer or minister in any place subject to the king, and no archbishop,
bishop, abbot, prior or other at the king's allegiance should, under
pain of forfeiture, by reason of consanguinity, affinity or otherwise,
receive, promote or admit any such to be canon or to any benefice
among the English, but that all benefices in Ireland when vacant
should be conferred upon Enghsh or other clerks at the king's al-
legiance ; and now on behalf of clerks of the Irish nation abiding among
the English at the king's peace and allegiance prayer is made, by
their petition before the king and council in the present parliament
presented, that whereas by virtue of that proclamation they are de-
barred from promotion within Ireland in the king's lordship as mere
Irish and the king's enemies, though they are not, in consideration
of their constancy in standing firm in his allegiance, the king would
provide a remedy ; and because it is not right, nor of his intention,
that such clerks who have so stood firm as other of the English nation,
and of whose good behaviour the justiciary and chancellor have know-
ledge, should be reputed to be of his Irish enemies or debarred from
promotion : order not to molest or suffer to be by their ministers
molested any such Irish clerks by reason of their acceptance of bene-
fices within the king's lordship of Ireland, so long as they behave
well towards the king and his people, or any prelates or patrons
by reason of presenting or admitting them, the said proclamations
or any commands to the contrary notwithstanding.

account at the exchequer with Thomas and other the guardians
of the Uberty of Meath, which was of Roger de Mortuo Mari
earl of March tenant in chief deceased, and is in the king's hand by
reason of the nonage of his heir, concerning the issues thereof and
divers wages and expenses by them paid to men at arms and others
for the defence as well of the said hberty as of other parts of Ireland
and for other business, to allow them reasonable expenses and do
further what they shall find to belong to the final issue of the account ;
as Thomas has shown that he with other heges was assigned to the
guardianship of the said hberty, so that answer should be made to
the king at the exchequer of England for the issues thence
arising, and when he saw that war was raging, that the
king's Irish enemies were AA^sting the king's lands and lieges,
and that there was nothing in the treasury of Ireland whereof
he could pay expenses to resist them, he caused all issues
taken from the said liberty to be delivered in the treasury, whereof
he paid the said wages and expenses. By K.

Westminster, meddle further with the manor of Grymeston taken into the king's

taken by the escheator, that Robert at his death held no lands in that
county in chief in his demesne as of fee, but held that manor for life
of the gift of Roger de Hales late parson of North Walsham and
of John de Bolyngton parson of Watfeld, with remainder after his

thereof taken since the decease of the said EUzabeth de Burgo, although
the inquisitions taken by the escheator after her death are not accord-

dered to Lionel and Ehzabeth the lands, fees and advowsons afore-
said together with the said issues, has remitted their relief, and res-
pited the homage of Lionel due by reason of issue between him and
his said Avife begotten. Nevertheless it is the king's will that the

Order to remove the king's hand and not to intermeddle further
with a messuage of John Cook of Norhampton in Brerdyng,
deUvering any issues thereof taken to John Moryn and Hawise his
wife ; as the king lately ordered the escheator to certify in chancery
the cause wherefore he took the premises into the king's hand, and
he certified that he so took them for that it was found by inquisition,
before him taken of his office, that John Cook, who held the same
in chief as of the king's manor of Whitefeld, was a bastard, and died
thereof seised in his demesne as of fee without an heir ; and after,
at the suit of John Moryn and Hawise, alleging that Jordan de Welles
father of Hawise, whose heir she is, by charter gave the premises to
John Cook and to the heirs of his body with reversion
for lack of such heirs to Jordan and his heirs, and that
John Cook died thereof seised of that estate and none other, and
praying a remedy, the king ordered the escheator to make
inquisition touching the circumstances ; and by inquisition
so taken it is found that Jordan gave the premises to John Cook with
reversion as aforesaid, that John Cook died thereof seised of that
estate and none other, that the said Hawise daughter of Jordan
is his next heir, and that the reversion belongs to her ; and John
Wyvill and Thomas Haket of the county aforesaid have mainperned
in chancery for John Cook and Hawise to answer to the king for the
issues, if it should be decided that the messuage ought of right to
pertain to the king.

Walter has not proved his age as is customary, by inspection of his

Thomas de Wendovre and Alice his wife for their lives all the lands
of the prioress and convent together with 10 acres of meadow called
Napie in the parish of Wendovere for IOO5. yearly to be rendered

payment of that rent and the arrears from the time they were so
taken, the king, wilhng to be certified whether the demise was made
in manner aforesaid or no, and of other circumstances, ordered the
escheator to make inquisition thereupon ; and by inquisition so taken
it is found that the prioress and convent made a demise as aforesaid
and granted no other estate at any time to Thomas and Alice nor
changed that estate, that all the premises are held of William de Molyns
by the service of 2s. a year, and are worth IOO5. a year in all issues ;

Feb. 18. To Walter de Kelby escheator in Lincolnshire. Whereas in the
Westminster. 9tli year of Kdward II Thomas late abbot of Thornton upon
Huinl)rc before William de Hereford and his fellows justices of the
Bench impleaded Gervase Avenel and Joan his wife, by writ of right
dated 18 February in that year, concerning one messuage, one mill
and three carucates of land (two bovates of land excepted) in Carleton
by Basyngham, and on the morrow of the Purification 10 Edward
II recovered the same by judgment of the court without collusion,
as ap})eared by the record and process of the cause viewed and
examined before the king and council in parliament in the first year
of the reign, and was put in seisin accordingly by writ de. jvdicio
and continued his seisin therein until Master John Walweyn then
escheator south of Trent, alleging that Gervase and Joan before the
date of the said writ and the recovery adhered to the Scots, by com-
mand of Hugh le Despenser disseised the said abbot, which Hugh
then entered and by his power occupied the premises all his life, and
they were lately in the king's hand by his forfeiture, whereby
William afterwards abbot of that place by petition before the king
and council presented in the said parUament prayed for remedy,
and the king, willing to be certified thereupon, appointed Henry
de Fenton, John Daubeney and John de Crosholm the younger and
two of them to make inquisition, in presence of William Trussebut
who mainperned before the Council to sue for the king and his right
therein ; and on a finding by inquisition so taken that Gervase and
Joan were at the late king's peace at the dates of the writ and of the
judgment, that the said abbot Thomas was seised of the premises
nine weeks and more by virtue of the judgment, that John Walweyn
by his bailiffs disseised him as aforesaid, that neither he nor Wilham
afterwards abbot changed his estate therein, and that the premises
are in tlie king's hand by the death of Hugh and for no other cause,
on 26 February in the first year of his reign, by writ founded upon
the said petition and its endorsement and upon the inquisition, the
king commanded Simon de Grymesby then guardian of the premises
to deliver the same to the said abbot William according to the
recovery aforesaid, as appears by inspection of a copy of the writ
upon the files of chancery ; and now Robert abbot of the same place,
by his petition before the king and council presented in this par-
hament, has praj^ed the king to remove his hand and restore the
premises to the abbot according to the judgment of the first parlia-
ment, as under the name of the manor of Carleton by Basyngham
(value lOZ. a year) they have been by the escheator taken as forfeit
into the king's hand, and the abbot has been ousted from possession,
by pretext of another inquisition, before the escheator taken of office,

fled to Scotland to the faith of that king, and adhered to the Scots,

examnied before the council, and also the petition of the said abbot
Wilham and its endorsement, the commission and inquisition thereon
and the said copy of the writ (all on the files of chancery), it is found
that restitution was made to the said William for that it was not
found that Gervase and Joan adhered to the said enemies, and the
escheator in person before the council by word of mouth affirmed
that he had no cause nor information to show wherefore restitution
should not be made to the abbot save the adherence aforesaid by
hnn returned in chancery, the contrary whereof is plain by the said
mquisition, whereby it was decided that restitution ought to be made :

whole year after the first, and proportionally for a shorter time after
the first year, and that they should have the keeping aforesaid so
that no sheriff, esclieator, baihff or minister of the king should by
reason of a vacancy intermeddle in the same, its cells, manors or
goods, except that in the beginning of every vacancy the escheator
or other minister of the king should within the abbey gates take a
simple seisin in name of the king's royal lordship and immediately

as the king lately ordered the escheator to certify in chancery the

found that the tenements aforesaid called Fisshouses in Therfeld

put in a granary in the town of Leiui, great part of it to be ahijjped
and d(^livered to W'ilhain de Ituworth late the king's serjeant at arms
to be taken to Calais by the treasurer's letter and command ; and
immediately after, hearing rumours that the king's enemies were at
sea with great nudtitude of ships to do what mischief they could, by
another letter of the treasurer addressed to him, the corn so hided
was for fear of those enemies unladed, and John was ordered to
dis])ose thereof as might seem best for the king's advantage ; and
subse((uently John, being appointed to arrest all ships towards the
northern parts and sail therein with other lieges to oppose the enemies
aforesaid, busied himself in gathering and arresting those shi])s to
the interruption of all else, sailed therein with no small number of
armed men and archers, and there abode a great while, and for that
he was then so busied that he could not dispose of the corn to the
king's advantage or liis oaau, the same was much damaged, to his
great loss and impoverishment, whereupon he has prayed for remedy ;
and because the loss w as by no fault of his, it is agreed between the
council and John that the surplus of 1,1 lOL 14s. ^d. due to John
and his fellows in their account at the exchequer for the king's wool
by them bought shall be allowed him in the payment of his aforesaid
farm, and tliat for that consideration he shall bear the loss and dis-

Piers of Cork, staying altogether the holding of a plea before
them moved in the said staple by John Motoun ; as the king
lately ordered the mayor and constable to certify him in chancery
of the cause of that arrest, and they certified that 90Z. in the hands
of John Wynnegod for certain hides sold to him by Robert Piers
were arrested by the serjeant of the said staple at the suit
of John Motoun, who complained before them that in the 21st
year of the reign he freighted a ship called Ooldqueu in Brittany
(William Garcy master) to sail to la Baye to lade salt there and bring
it to the town of Yoghill, that the same so laded to the value of 32Z.
while sailing thither was taken at sea by the king's enemies and
recovered from their hands by certain men of Yoghill at Heydouqes
by Beble, that two ships of the city of Cork forcibly by night took
away the said ship so recovered with the salt contrary to his will
without making him any restitution, as is witnessed by a writing
sealed at Yoghill with the seals of many seamen and with the seal
of the office of provost of that town, damages 40L, and that John
Rudde of the city of Cork, whose merchant Robert is, owner of the
money arrested, was one of those who took away the ship, craving
in his said plea that he might be contented of the goods of John
Rudde so arrested for the trespass and damages aforesaid, whereto
Robert said that he has no knowledge of John Rudde, nor is his
merchant, nor has John Rudde any share in the moneys arrested,
nor ought men of the city of Cork to be aggrieved by reason of the
said writing made at Yoghill, or have to answer in this ease, where-
upon John Motoun craved that satisfaction for the trespass and
damages should be adjudged him, for that Robert did not gainsay
that the money arrested was of merchants in Cork, against whom
maritime law is operative in such case ; and now on behalf of Robert
petition is made to the king to order the said moneys to be dearrested
and delivered to him, since they are arrested at the suit of John
Motoun by reason of a trespass committed by others than the said
Robert, Raymond and William, for which they are not bound in law
to answer, and in the ordinances of the staple by the king and council
made it is contained that no foreign merchant shall be impleaded for
another's trespass or for any debt whereof he is neither principal,
surety nor mainpernor, neither by the common law is any native
bound to answer for another's trespass, and by the said certificate
it appears that the moneys are arrested for a trespass committed
by others than Robert, Raymond and William, for which trespass
John Motoun is endeavouring to help himself by maritime law, which
does not fall under the cognisance of the staple. By C.

that they or one of them has since without interruption or change
of estate held the same, without that that the said messuage or any
parcel thereof has after the said 1 November come to the hands of
Henry so that it might be charged with his debts, to cause the king's
hand to be removed, and the said messuage restored to Michael, to
hold quit of the debts and charges of Henry, according to the king's
letters patent ; as the king lately ordered the treasurer and barons to
search a certificate of the sheriff of Lincoln in the exchequer
touching the cause wherefore the lands of Michael in Staumford
were by the sheriff taken into the king's hand, the particulars and
the value of them, and to certify him under the exchequer seal
of what they found, and by their certificate it is found that,

that year and after had the said capital messuage in Staumford,
value 10/. a year saving reprises and services of the lords of the fee
and afterwards aliened the same to the said William and Michael,
their heirs and assigns, and so the messuage was taken into the king's
hand until he should be contented of the said debt ; and on 1
November aforesaid the king by letters patent granted to William de la
Pole the elder and the said Michael that they should not thereafter
be charged nor impeached for any debts or charges wherewith Henry
was then or might thereafter be charged for time then p|ist
towards the king by reason of lands and rents in Staumford and
Borley by Staumford by them acquired of Henry, nor should the
same lands and rents, but they, their heirs and assigns, should hold

tenances for his life, taking the wages aforesaid, has granted the same
keeping and wages to the said John, and the king by letters patent of 20

that the same were aliened in mortmain and appropriated to certain
chaplains for maintenance of certain chantries there Mithout the
king's licence ; and after, at the suit of the said tenants by petition

use, discharging them thereof ; as lately the king caused all the
lands, goods and chattels which were of John Avenel deceased to be
taken into his hand as well by reason of certain debts and accounts
in which John at his death was said to be bound to the king as for
restitution of a ship of a certain foreign merchant taken at sea in
time of truce by Wilham de Rouceby late servant of John,
for which John was convicted before the council ; and after,
for that none was suing for such restitution, and by certificate of the
treasurer, the barons of the exchequer and of the chamberlains it

he received at the receipt of the exchequer for his wages and the
wages of men at arms and archers in his retinue when he was captain
of the duchy of Brittany by the king's commission, and the king

cery, the king pardoned the said debt and account, and ordered livery
to be given to Warin and Mary of all the lands, goods and chattels
aforesaid ; and now on behalf of John the son the king has learned
that his father stood no small time in the king's service in Brittany,
and after died in his service in Normandy, that if account had been
taken \nth his said father for the wages of his men for that time the
king would be bound to him in a great surplus over and above the
sum he received as aforesaid, that John the son was made prisoner
of war before his father's death, imprisoned at Paris for a year and
more after his decease, and held to a great ransom, so that he could
not come for restitution of his lands, that Warin and Mary after his
coming to England rendered to him all the lands which descended
to him by inheritance after his father's decease, by them occupied as
aforesaid, and he so holds the same as his heritage, and that the 401.
granted by Warin and Mary to have those lands out of the king's
hand are being demanded of him therein by summons of the exchequer,
[praying that] the king would order that demand to be stayed, as
John the son cannot be bound or charged with the grant so made
by Warin and Mary, nor is anything found whereby he ought to be
Charged towards the king by reason of those lands ; in consideration
whereof the king has thought good to cancel the said recognisance
upon the rolls of chancery, and to discharge the parties above named,

those delivered to the earl, notwithstanding that they were for the
most part bought to the king's use, charging the earl with those to

king by letters patent appointed Roger to receive all victuals purveyed to

places appointed by the council, and there deliver and dispose thereof
as should be by the council commanded, taking 40c?. a day for his

to the earl at a reasonable price ; and now Roger has petitioned the
king to deal generously with him in that behalf, as by long keeping
the victuals were much damaged, so that they could not be sold nor

farm, with all liberties and free customs, answering for the same at
the exchequer at Michaelmas for 30L a year of the ancient farm, so
that the sheriff should not intermeddle therein, and that 6/. 10s. which
the same king gave to William Dennis {Daco), 405. of the mill which
the said William held, and 405. of the hundred of la Stane should be
reckoned in that farm as they used to pertain thereto ; and
whereas the said king on 12 May following by another charter gave
to William Dennis the said 6^. IO5. of rent which he used to render
of the farm of the heywardship and Hechyng and other tenements
which he held of the said king in the borough and for tenements in
Ivelcestre, and gave him the mill of Ivelcestre whereof 405. are reckoned
to the said king's farmer, to hold to William and his heirs of the king
and his heirs by the service of the fourth part of one knight's fee for
all service and demand ; and now it is shown the king by a plaint
on behalf of the said burgesses that, although William, his heirs and
assigns, by virtue of that gift held as well the rent of 6/. IO5. aforesaid
as the 4O5. of the said mill, which were parcel of the said farm of 30/.,
without that that the burgesses ever took and had anything of that
8/. IO5. from the time of the grant, the treasurer and barons are
endeavouring to charge them henceforth with the whole rent of 30/.,
and with the arrears of the said 8/. IO5. so granted to William, and
are causing them unlawfully to be distrained and troubled for the
same : order to view the said charters, search the rolls and
memoranda of the exchequer, and if they may be assured that the
81. IO5. are to be reckoned in the farm of the town according to the
first charter, that the said rent which William used to pay as
aforesaid and which the said king granted him according to the second
charter were before the said gift parcel of the said farm, and that
the burgesses have hitherto received nothing in aid of their farm,
when the king shall be contented of 21/. IO5. every year from the said
12 May for the farm of the town, to cause the demand made by sum-
mons of the exchequer upon the burgesses for the said arrears to be
stayed, and the burgesses to be discharged thereof, releasing any

Indenture made between the king and R()l)ort de I'oi-tyco, wit-
nessing that the king has made Robert master and worker of his
moneys of gold and silver in the Tower of London, whicli Robert
has taken upon liim before the eouneil to make three sorts of gold
moneys, one current for 06'. 8f/. sterling the piece called the gold
noble, 45 pieces in the jjound of the weight of the Tower of London,
another of half that weight current for 40fi., 90 pieces in the pound
of the Tower weight, and a third one fourth the weight of the first
current for 20c?., 180 pieces in tiie said pound, and these shall be of
23 carats 3^ grains of fine gold, every pound of them worth 15Z. sterling,
and the king shall have of every pound of them by weiglit 3s. 6c/. by
tale, and the master for his pains, waste of cutting the irons,
loss of weight, and all costs save the wages of the warden and otlier
the king's ministers there, of every pound by weight \'6d. by tale by
the hands of the warden, so that of every pound of gold by weight
he shall deposit in the Tower according to the standard of the noble
14/. 156\ by tale shall remain to the merchant ; and because the gold
money cannot always be made exactly according to the true standard
but perad venture by default of the master or his workmen it may some
times be found too strong or too weak more or less in weight or alloy
or in both, the king's will is that when at the assay before delivery the
gold money is found too strong or too weak in weight only, in alloy
only, or in both by the sixteenth of a carat in the pound by weight and
no more, which shall be called the master's remedy, the money shall be
delivered as good provided the default be accidental, but if greater
default be found, delivery shall cease and the money be melted and
coined again at the master's cost until it be exact ; and it is agreed
that of every pound of gold by weight the master must coin 4 ounces
in nobles, 6 ounces in half nobles, 2 ounces in ferlings of nobles, and
this ordinance shall in no wise be changed by the master to make
more of one sort and less of another until he shall have order to the
contrary : he has also taken upon him to make four sorts of moneys
of silver, one current for 4d. sterling the piece to be called a groat,
75 such pieces shall be in a pound of the Tower weight, another current
for Id. the piece to be called a half groat, 150 such pieces in a pound
of the Tower weight, the third current for \d. the piece to be called
sterhng, of the coin of the old sterling, 300 such pieces shall be in a
pound of the Tower weight, the fourth to be called maille which shall
be worth half the sterling, 600 such pieces shall be in the pound of
the Tower weight; all these silver moneys shall be of the standard
alloy of the old sterling, to wit every pound of them by weight shall
contain 11 ounces 2d. by weight of fine silver and 18c?. of alloy, every
pennyweight containing 24 grains ; and the king's warden of the
moneys shall take to him of every pound weight of silver so made 8o?.
by weight, whereof he shall pay to the master for his pains and costs

king's use, and so of every pound of silver by weight that he shall
deposit in the Tower according to the standard, 19s. 4c?. by weight
shall remain to the merchant, making 24s. 2d. by tale ; and because
the silver money cannot always be made exactly according to the
true standard inasmuch as by default of the master or his workmen
it may sometimes be made too strong or too weak, when upon assay
before delivery the said money is found too strong or too weak by
2c?. in the pound by weight and no more, whk'li shall be called the
master's remedy, it shall be dehvered as good provided the default

shall coin 3 ounces in groats, 4 ounces in half groats, 4 ounces of ster-
lings and one ounce of mailles, and this ordinance shall in no wise
be changed by the master until he shall have order to the contrary :
the warden shall keep the said moneys at all times, as pertains to
his office, so that as soon as any of them be coined and complete between
him and the master they shall be put until dehvery in a coffer with
two keys, one to remain with the warden the other with the master,
and after they are assayed and proved good, before any delivery is
made of aU the sum, a prise of gold and silver shall be made to put
in a box whereof the assays of Westminster shall be made, to wit
of every five pounds of gold by weight the value of one noble, provided
that it be taken of nobles, half nobles and ferlings proportionally, and
of every hundred pounds of silver by weight 2s. by tale, whereof shall be
groats, half groats, sterlings and mailles proportionally, and when
the prises are made and put in the said box for the assays of West-
minster, they shall be sealed with the seals of the warden and changer
and of the master, and the box shall be locked with three keys, one
remaining with the warden, the second with the changer and the third
with the master, and shall be put in a coffer for safe keeping, and
opened once every three months before certain lords of the council
chosen for the purpose, and in presence of the warden and master,

most just manner possible by fire or by touchstone or both, to the
end that if the moneys be found and proved good according to the
above covenants the master may be quit up to that time, and he
shall have at his will a patent under the great seal witnessing the
same, and if the moneys be found too weak in weight or alloy or in
both to the extent of the said remedies and no further, the default
shall be entered in the record and the master charged to make
immediate recompense to the king upon the assay without delay
and without claiming any advantage by reason of the said remedies,
save always that in case the moneys be found to exceed the standard
in goodness that shall be entered in the record against any charge for
default so found, and if at the assay at Westminster the moneys shall
at any time be found in default exceeding the said remedies the master

Memorandum that these two recognisances were made as security
for payment of 2,000 marks wherein John de Moubray of Axiholm
deceased was bound to the king by a recognisance in chancery made
on 3 June this year, and for livery to John the son and Elizabeth of
the lands, goods and chattels of the said deceased, taken into the king's
hand after his death by reason of that debt, of which John the son shall
at the dates named in the recognisance pay 500 marks for the said goods
and chattels, in part payment of the said 2,000 marks, and 900 marks
for the share of the lands falling to him as son and heir, and Elizabeth
shall pay as aforesaid 400/. for the share of the same lands falling to
her for life with remainder after lier death to John the son ; and for
the indemnification of John the son and Elizabeth, that they be not
triply charged with the three recognisances made to one effect, the
king grants that if John shall pay 1,400 marks and Elizabeth 400/.
at the terms aforesaid, as well the first recognisance made by John
the father as these two recognisances by them severally made shall be
annulled ; in case one shall make payment and the other default so
that execution shall run against Elizabeth, and she shall die before
payment of the 400/., John the son shall be charged with all arrears
thereof for terms past or yet to come, so that the goods and chattels
which Elizabeth at her death shall have shall be bound for payment
to the amount due from her for terms then past in discharge of John
the son ; but when payment is made of the said 2,000 marks it is not
the king's will nor intent to claim more from John the son and Elizabeth
by virtue of the said recognisances or any of them, nor yet to withdraw
or be excluded in any wise from action and execution of all sums in
the three recognisances contained if John the son and Elizabeth pay
not the said 2,000 marks at the terms aforesaid ; and because John
de Moubray of his own motion gave that sum to the king, it is not
the king's will nor in accordance with the law that John the son and
Elizabeth or the lands, goods or chattels of John the father by reason
of the said recognisances be charged with the queen's gold, but the
king altogether discharges them from payment thereof.
Memorandum that after, for that he was bound in 2,000 marks to
William abbot of Walden, brother William de Monkelane of the order
of St. Augustine, Nicholas de Neuton clerk, Thomas de Walmesford clerk
and Stephen atte Roche clerk, executors of Humphrey de Bohun late earl
of Hereford and Essex, for certain jewels and other things of them bought,
the king assigned to the said executors the 2,000 marks due to him from
John son of John de Moubray and Elizabeth, to be received at the terms
aforesaid, whereby they made recognisances to the said executors, John
the son for 2,800 marks and Elizabeth for 800/. payable at the said terms,
and so the king was contented of the 2,000 marks aforesaid, wherefore he
ordered as well the first recognisance made by John the father as the two
foregoing recognisances to be cancelled ; and the said executors grant
that, if John the son and Elizabeth sJiall pay the 2,000 marks at the terms
aforesaid, the recognisances for 4,000 marks to them made shall be void,
and John the son and Elizabeth grant that if they shall not pay the same
{namely John. 1,400 marks and Elizabeth 400/.) as aforesaid, the recog-
nisances for 4,000 marks shall be put in execution against them, and in

case one of them shall make payment and the other default, so that exe-
cution shall run against Elizabeth in her life time, and she shall die before
payment of the 400L, John the son shall after her decease be charged with
all arrears thereof, so that the goods and chattels which at her death she
shall have shall be bound to the amount due for terms then past in dis-
charge of the said John. Therefore as well the two foregoing recognisances

soon as the payment of that aniun'fcy to the earl should cease and the
prince be able wholly to take the profits of the stampage, pleas and
perquisites aforesaid, payment to the prince of the 1,000 marks of the
customs should cease and answer be made to the kitig for the same ;
and after, on the finding of in(]uisitions that the said Joan, who survived
the said earl of Surrey her husband, died on the feast of the Beheading
of St. John Baptist last, on 8 November following the king took the
homage and fealty of the earl of Sahsltury and ordered him to have
livery of the castle and manors aforesaid ; and because in the king's
letters patent to the late earl of Salisbury for the said annuity it is
contained that, when the said castle and manors should come to him
or his heirs male, and they should obtain possession thereof, payment
of 800 marks of that annuity should cease, and when provision of the
other lands should be made them payment of 200 marks should also
cease, and the whole sum should revert to the king and his heirs,
and in the said inquisitions it is found that 147L of yearly rent are
payable of the said castle and manors at four terms in the year,
of Avhich 361. I5s. for a fourth part are due to the king for
Michaelmas term last, and the earl took upon him in chancery
to answer for that sum at the exchequer in the quinzaine of
St. Hilary last and for any other issues and profits thereof arising
from the said feast to Michaelmas, the king's will is that though
he had not possession of the said castle and manors before 8 Novem-
ber last when he did homage to the king, the earl shall take all the
rents, issues and ])rofits thereof arising as well before as after
Michaelmas, and that from Michaelmas last payment of 800 marks
as well of the said 1,000 marks of the issues of the stampage to the
earl as of the 1,000 marks of the issues of the said customs to the
prince shall altogether cease, wherefore by divers writs the king has
ordered John de Estbury escheator in Wilts and John de Bekynton
escheator in Somerset and Dorset to cause all rents and profits of the
said castle and manors arising since the Behearhng of St. John Baptist
last to be dehvered to the earl or his attorney, certifying the king
in chancery of any such issues and profits which have fallen in over
and above the said rent, and the escheator in Wilts has signified
that the issues in that county amount to 175. 2d., and the
escheator in Somerset and Dorset that tlie issues in those counties
amount to 2Ls. 2d. over and above the rent for Michaelmas term,
which rents and issues they have delivered to Thomas A^'^aryn the
earl's attorney : order to receive from the said earl of Salisbury to the

Margaret and Alice, alleging that they are daughters and heirs of
William and Emma, and that the said lands ought to pertain to them
after Emma's death, and craving livery of the same, the king ordered
the escheator to make inquisition ; and by inquisition so made it
is found that Margaret and Alice daughters of William and Emma
are their next heirs, and that the said lands ought to pertain to them

July 7. To Philip de Lutteley escheator in Gloucestershire. Order to cause
Westminster, six tuns of wine of Richard Taillour, by him taken into the kirig's
hand, to be dearrested and delivered to the said Richard to make
his advantage thereof ; as the king lately ordered the escheator to
certify under his seal in chancery the cause of the arrest and detention
of six tuns and one pipe of that wine, and he returned that he so took
six tuns thereof for that it happened that a boat wherein the same
was came to land in the port of Bristol by Crokkarespull, and imme-
diately after was sunk by a storm of wind, so that no man escaped
alive but one who landed before the storm as he was informed, and
the said tuTjs by flow of water were cast up upon the lordship of Ham-
bury then in the kirig's hand by the death of Reynold bishop of
Worcester, and therefore he arrested them as a wTeck to that lordship
pertaining, as it seemed to him ; and after examination of the business
before the council it seems to the council that the said tuns are not
nor ought to be called wreck. By C.
July 4. To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order to stay alto-
Westminster, gether their demand made by summons of the exchequer against the
abbess and convent of St. Mary Winchester for tenths or other quotas
by reason of a rent of lOi. issuing from the manor of Colshull co. Berks
from the time that by inquisition or otherwise they may be assured
that John de Edjmdon the elder and William de Edyndon bishop of
Winchester were seised of the said rent by virtue of their several acquisi-
tions, discharging the abbess and convent of payment with the clergy
of such quotas by reason thereof, and causing the assessment thereof
among the clergy to be cancelled ; as the said John lately acquired
to him and his heirs that rent, which is held in chief as parcel of the
temporalities of the said abbey, from Margaret then abbess ; and after
the said bishop acquired the same to him and his heirs from the said
John ^vith the king's licence contained in letters patent of 20 May
in the 35th year of the reign, by virtue whereof the said bishop now
holds the same as he has given the king to understand ; and the king
considers that from the time the said rent came to their hands out
of the possession of the abbess it is assessable with the commons of
the realm and not with the clergy, and ought not to be charged
with such quotas granted or to be granted by the clergy or im-
posed or to be imposed upon them, although the abbess and con-
vent and their predecessors were used to pay the same while the
rent was in their possession among temporalities to spiritualities
annexed. The king's wiU is that the said bishop and his heirs be
taxed and contribute for that rent as laymen of the said county
from the time the same came to their hands over and above the
portion of the fifteenth at which the said manor was taxed hereto-
fore, and the abbess shall answer for any arrears of the said tenth
of the clergy due before possession thereof passed to the said John
and the bishop.

other lieges in England who have lands in Ireland, to make ready
with all their power of men at arms, armed men and archers and

nor to send any men, in contempt of the king, to the peril of his said
son and the lieges in his company, and of the loss of Ireland, whereat

in that place and it was thence taken, and the fact that it was by the
said miller so put in the said mill was cried in the parish church before
the parishioners, and witnessed by the parishioners, the escheator
is causing William unlawfully to be compelled and distrained to pay
the said sum by colour of an inquisition, before him taken of his office,

farms of the towns of Wynchelse and la Rye, the manor of Ihamme
and the marsh there, as in his letters patent is contained ; and after
at the suit of Juliana, alleging that the town of Wynchelse, the manor
and marsh aforesaid, as well by the king's alien enemies as by inunda-
tions of the sea are almost wholly destroyed, that 6c?. a day of the issues
of la Rie was on 20 June in the 32nd year of the reign granted by the
king for life to William de Passeleu one of his seamen, and was paid
him from that date, that 65. yearly issuing from a house of the
hospital of St. Bartholomew Wynchelse, parcel of the farm of
Wynchelse, was on 6 August in the 32nd year pardoned by the king
to the brethren of the hospital for 10 years, and that since the
assignment of the said farms she has received only 111. 4:d. thereof,
as may appear by the account of the bailiffs, also that one
bailiff has been by the king appointed in the town of la Rye
and another in the town of Wynchelse and the said manor and marsh,
wherein there used to be but one, and both have taken their fees
(amounting to the double of one fee) of the farms aforesaid, and the
same were by so much diminished, and praying that the king would
assign her that yearly sum in competent places elsewhere that she might
be thereof contented, and cause payment to be made of the arrears,
the king by writ commanded the treasurer, barons and chamberlains to
view the accounts of the said bailiffs, search the rolls and memoranda of
the exchequer, and certify in chancery under the exchequer seal what
they should find; and they certified that, after search made from
31 October aforesaid to Michaelmas at the end of the 36th year, it
is found in the account of Vincent Fynch bailiff of the said towns,
manor and marsh from 15 April in the 30th year to 1 April in the 32nd
year that 161. 13s. 4rf. was paid to the said Juliana in part payment,
namely for part of the 32nd year, in his account as bailiff of Wynchelse
from 1 April in the 32nd year to 1 April in the 36th year allowance
is made to her of 4:11. 4d. in part payment of the 33rd and 34th years,
also in the great roll of the 36th year under the head of Sussex, in
an allowance made to William Taillour bailiff of la Rye, that 30Z.
was paid to her of the issues of that town from 9 July in the 32nd year
to Michaelmas at the end of the 36th year in part payment, and so the
total allowance made to her from 31 October in the 31st year, to
Michaelmas at the end of the 36th year was 93/. 13s. 4c?., and that it is not
found in the exchequer at present that any other allowance or payment
is being made her for the cause above mentioned, for that the said

that 131. are in arrear up to that date. By K. and C.

to the abbey belonging, also the keeping during this vacancy of any
lands acquired by the abbot and convent since 16 July in the l4th year

to the then abbot and convent of Pershore that at every vacancy,
by death, cession, resignation or otherwise, the prior and convent
should have the keeping as aforesaid as fully as any abbot had in times
past, or as the king might have or ought to have if the same had been
kept in his hand, so that they should have full and free administration
of the said temporalities, property and goods, take all manner of
emoluments, and dispose thereof as should to them seem best, saving
the knight's fees and advowsons, rendering to the king for the first
two months of every vacancy 36Z. and for a longer time pro rata,
and the king would not that any escheator, sheriff, bailiff or minister
of his should intermeddle with such keeping, except that in the

Norwico, presented before the king and council in the present parlia-

and the tenants of the manor of Dalham, restoring anything they have
levied in that behalf, and releasing any distraints made, that no second
complaint may come to the king whereby he should have cause of anger
against them ; as by complaint on behalf of the said Margaret it is
shewn the king that, though she holds the said manor in chief, as may
appear by letters patent of the late king and of the present king,
by him inspected, nevertheless the said bailiffs, alleging that the same
is held of their lord, are distraining her for homage and fealty, for an
aid for marrying their said lord's eldest daughter, and for a fine for
alienation thereof, and divers tenants of the manor for fines for aliena-
tions of their lands therein, wherefore she has prayed for remedy.

Robert Walrand of the English nation, and craved an inquisition of

said he was an alien and bastard, and offered so to prove, wherefore

Trinity then next to do and receive what should be lawful in the
premises ; and now it is found by inquisition, taken before the king,
that Alan was son of the said Andrew and Alice, ancestors of Thomas
whose heir he is, born as aforesaid, wherefore it was decided that Thomas
should go without a day, as is found by the record and process which
the king has caused to come before him in chancery ; wherefore Thomas

held in dower by the said Sibyl, which by her death is taken into the

tiie Lords of tlio Treasury that althouj^h " the Records, State I'aj)crs,
" and DocumoDts in his (jharge constitute the most complete and
" perfect series of their kind in the civilized world," and although
" they are of the greatest value in a historical and constitutional point
" of view, yet tliey are coin{)aratively iiseless to the public from the
"want of proper Calendars and Indexes." Whereupon their Lord-
ships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prepared, and
empowered the Master of the Rolls to take such steps as might be
necessary for this purpose.

Edited by the Rev. William Stubbs, M.A., Vicar of Navestock,
Essex, and Lambeth Librarian. 1864-1865.
The authorship of the Chronicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Greofirey \'inesauf, is now
more correctly ascribed to Eichard, Canon of the Holy Trinity of London.
The letters in Vol. 11., written between 1187 and 1199, had their origin in a dispute which arose
from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to found a college of
secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the monks of Canterbury.

Divinity, Vicar of St. Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's College,
and late Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. I865-I886.
This chronicle begins with the Creation, and is broueht down to the relRn of Edward III.
The two En^Ush translations, wlilcli are printed with the original Latin, afford interesting
Illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made in the fourteenth century,
the other in the fifteenth.

46. Liber Monasteru de Hyda : a Chronicle and Chartulaby of
Hyde Abbey, Winchester, 456-1023. Edited by Edward
Edwabds. 1866.
The " Book of Hyde " is a compilation from much earlier sources, which are usually indi-
cated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde Chronicler
appears to correct, to quaUfy, or to amplify the statements which, in substance, he adopts.
There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," much information relating to the reign of King
Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains some curious specimens
of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English.
46. Chbonicon Scotorum. A Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the
earliest times to 1135 ; and Supplement, containing the events
from 1141 to 1150. Edited, with Translation, by William Maun-

47. The Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft in French Verse, from
the earliest period to the death of Edward I. Vols. I. and
II. Edited by Thomas Wright, M.A., &c. 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire and lived
in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edward 11. This chronicle is
divided into three parts ; in the first, is an abridgement of Geoffrey of Monmouth's " Historia
Britonum " ; in the second, a history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, to the death of
Henry IH. ; in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The language is a specimen^of
the French of Yorkshire.

by the Rev. William SitrBBs, M.A., Regias Professor of Modern
History and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871.
The earUer portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy ot a compilation
made in Northumbria about 1161, to which Hoveden added little. Prom 1148 to 1169— a very
Talnable portion of this work— the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden
appean to have supplied little. From 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corresponds to some
extent with the Chronicle known under the name of Benedict of Peterborough (see No. 49)
From 1192 to 1301 may be said to be wholly Hoveden's work.

This work forms a comprehensive Palseographic Series for
Ireland. It furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents
which have come down from each of the classes which, in past
ages, formed principal elements in the population of Ireland, or
exercised an influence in her affairs. With these reproductions
are combined fac-simUes of writings connected with eminent per-
sonages or transactions of importance in the annals of the country
to the early part of the eighteenth century.
The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in
accordance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general
appearance. Characteristic examples of styles of writing and cali-
graphic ornamentation are. as far as practicable, associated with
subjects of historic and linguistic interest. Descriptions of the
various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Introduction.
The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and printed in
the original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line —
without contractions — thus facilitating reference and aiding eflfec-
tively those interested m palseogi-aphic studies.
In the work are also printed in fuU, for the first time, many
original and important historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.
Part 11. From the Twelfth Century to 1299.
Part III. From 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII.
Part IV. — 1. From reign of Edward VI. to that of James I.
In part IV. — 2 the work is carried down to the early part of the
eighteenth century, with Index to the entire publication.
